Try to make a chat at sunday next time with nice european times

MegaHertz · 07-28-2002, 12:09 AM

Took the wife out for dinner. I can just imagine if I told her that we couldn't go because of the chat.

Really though I would have liked to have been there. Maybe next time.

Hallo guys,
i was on a holliday trip in france past 4 weeks, so i missed the chat.
Anyway, the have several nice aqauriums with amazing big reef tanks there. I was at the Oceanopolis in Brest. I've made some nice Lionfish pics there, maybe i'll post them later..

Jim Sachs · 07-28-2002, 04:16 PM

YT - Yes, post those pics! I'm still looking for a hi-res lionfish pic for the box.

Jav400 · 07-28-2002, 08:27 PM

Well I wasn't at work and I didn't forget, unfortunately I wasn't able to show up untill later. I couldn't get connected to my stupid ISP. I don't know if they were having troubles or exactly what the problem was. I do know that they are trying to install cable access in my area now, not sure if they caused something to fail while they were installing new stuff or what. I don't see how it could have over lapped and goofed things up, but who knows.

Lightfeather · 07-29-2002, 06:00 PM

I was driving to Gilroy to attend the GARLIC festival the next day (I grew up in Gilroy so I've gone every year) All hail the stinking rose! (PU)

Jim Sachs · 07-29-2002, 11:09 PM

Darn! I missed the Garlic Festival?

Digital Lungfish · 07-30-2002, 01:15 AM

YT - Yes, post those pics! I'm still looking for a hi-res lionfish pic for the box.

Jim,

If you ask for those pics to be submitted, wont you be going back to the same problem you had with photo submissions of fish for the Aquairum?

I remember you had decided it was best (legally) not to allow images to be submitted because of rights to the photos, people wanting credit for their submissions, and so on.

Digital Lungfish · 07-30-2002, 01:19 AM

Gilroy eh??? I can just smell it now.

I've been through there a number of times before and you can always catch the sent from miles away.

Lightfeather · 07-30-2002, 05:28 PM

Oh and this year was great! It smelled like everyone in Gilroy was cooking an Italian dish because the tomato cannery was going and chives were also being harvested and the garlic from the festival of course... Mmmm. I was so permeated with garlic you could smell it on my skin.

I remember one year when I was too young to go to the festival by myself, I got my dad to buy a bunch of soda, water and ice so that I could sell it to the people stuck in their cars behind our house. (The street becomes a virtual parking lot because that is where everyone has to drive to get to the festival parking.) Of course my father made me take my younger sister along, so we filled up a cooler and set up shop. We hired a few of the neighbor boys to run quick as lightning to the cars whose owners were waiving cash out the window, take orders and deliver the refreshment. We were even making money on little bags of ice! Pretty soon all the kids in the neighbor hood were helping.

After it was all done, my father taught me a lesson in business by collecting the money he originally put down to buy the sodas! I was shocked because I took the cost of the drinks for granted. After he had done that we had a little over half the total amount we made left to divide between us. We worked all day, and because I let everyone help who wanted to help, we all ended up with about ten bucks each.

I was so mad that I fired my sister and a few of her friends so the next day I wouldn't feel so gypped since it was my idea in the first place and my parents made me let her help.

Needless to say, I was grounded and had to stay home for the next day while my sister got to go back and sell more sodas.

Poo huh?

Digital Lungfish · 07-31-2002, 01:05 AM

Poo huh?

Well, I'd say that just about sums it up.
